Any idea what is the format of the video? I am wondering if I can convert to run them on an old 3D laptop
You are asking a number of questions here that make me wonder if you are new to the beta process. If so, make sure you’ve done an archived back up (to prevent backups on beta 2 from overwriting your “restore” backup). The process for restoring back to 17.1.1 can be found at the bottom of the wiki post at the top of this thread under one of the “spoilers” at the bottom.
And, yes, the issue where no one could revert back to the public release has been fixed (unless it breaks again in this beta
).
Dunno, not seeing that. But why would I see it if I don't have anything Vision Pro related? Like a dev kit or Xcode opened, whatever?
Looks like you have to enable an option in the camera app in settings as the screenshot above shows.
I usually run betas on an iPad but considering using for a daily driver. I did not think about the corruption of the backup so thanks for the tip.You are asking a number of questions here that make me wonder if you are new to the beta process.

Yeah, just saw that! Thanks!
I checked the settings before posting, but not the Formats section. I thought that they would put it top-level as a high-profile feature lmao
As noted above, there are rarely problems running this on your daily device. BUT problems can happen and when combined with something like the inability to revert back to the publicly released software can cause real problems.
I doubt you’ll see any issues though.
Knowledge Bomb’s answer is excellent. I’d just add that the risk of major problems falls with each subsequent beta (usually). For a X.X version, the risk seems low enough by beta 3 that I feel comfortable jumping in, especially if betas are on a weekly cycle by then. though I wait a day or two and monitor these forum threads to get a sense of others’ experiences with beta 3. Using this strategy, I’ve never had a problem with any beta 3 or higher that caused more than minor inconvenience. YMMV of course.
With major new versions, X.0, I wait until about beta 6.
Good luck and back up. (Hey, I made a rhyme!)
If beta 2 has the snow widget fix then it's safe to say it should include the 17.1.1 fixes, but there's no snow here to test.
